The Perils Of Dealing For Rudy Gobert

The Utah Jazz appear to be at the same impasse the Portland Trail Blazers found themselves at late last calendar year. Carrying a bloated payroll, unable to advance beyond the second round of the playoffs over the past five years, a change is almost certainly gonna come.

The Dallas Mavericks’ convincing 4-2 first round win over the Jazz last week may have brought the situation to a boiling point for the Salt Lake City franchise. Next season, Utah stars Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert will collectively earn almost $70 million with Mike Conley and Bojan Bogdanovic making up another $41 million.
